Management of Laryngo Tracheal Injury Our Experience

Laryngeal trauma patients present with acute complications that require immediate prompt management by experienced professionals. With an overall mortality approximated at 2% [1], airways management is the priority. External injuries to the larynx threaten both the quality and maintenance of life [2]. The quality of phonation is the product of the aerodynamic and myoelastic properties of the la...

The effect of betamethasone gel in reducing sore throat, cough, and hoarseness after laryngo-tracheal intubation.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Tracheal intubation for general anesthesia often leads to traumatization of the airway mucosa resulting in postoperative sore throat, hoarseness and cough. This study was undertaken to determine the effects of betamethasone gel in reducing these complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred patients (ASA I-II) to undergo endotracheal intubation, were randomly divided eq...

Laryngo - pharyngeal Tuberculosis Summary

Cigarette smoke-induced 'chronic bronchitis': a study in situ of laryngo-tracheal hypersecretion in the rat.

Mucous secretion and mucosal permeability by the larynx and trachea, isolated in situ, was investigated in normal rats and in those in which 'chronic bronchitis' was induced by daily exposure to cigarette smoke for 2 weeks. Fucose was used as a specific marker for the secretion of mucus glycoprotein, and hexose and protein were markers both for mucus and plasma-type glycoproteins present in tis...

Laryngo-tracheal ultrasonography to confirm correct endotracheal tube and laryngeal mask airway placement

Waveform capnography was recommended as the most reliable method to confirm correct endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway placements. However, capnography may be unreliable during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and during low flow states. It may lead to an unnecessary removal of a well-placed endotracheal tube, re-intubation and interruption of chest compressions. Real-time upper airway (la...
